Geocache Description:

'Shark Fin?' you say? Don't ask...

WARNING!!! Coordinates listed are not the actual coordinates for the cache! You must first solve the following puzzle to find the exact coordinates for the cache.

Puzzle:
Take a sheet of paper that is 0.1mm thick. Amuse yourself by tearing it in half and putting both pieces together, and then tearing those in half. Repeat the process until you have torn it in half twenty-five times. How high, in meters, is the stack of paper?

Take your solution, in the form XXYY.ZZX2 and put in into coordinate format (XX YY.ZZX) to find your north coordinate. The west coordinate above is correct.

The cache can be found at:
N XX YY.ZZZ
